Let's Do This!
Step 1:
A) Cut the end of the rope to make a clean edge. Hot glue the end of the rope to the bottom center of a plastic container. Note: Plastic containers work best, as the glue will pop off easily.
Step 2:
A) Begin coiling the rope around the central starting point, hot gluing as you go.
Step 3:

Step 4:
A) Continue wrapping the rope around the side of the container, gluing as you wrap.
B) Continue wrapping until you reach the top.
Step 5:
A) When you reach the top, cut the rope.
B) Glue the loose end in place.
